Overall Property Description:Part of a typical stone farmhouse placed in really panoramic position on the hills of the border between Tuscany and Umbria, with view on the bright hills covered with green woods and on the charming Castle of Pierle. Ancient castle of feudal origins, Pierle was built in the 13th century to protect Cortona from the assaults of the nearby Perugia. Around 6 km far there are the villages of Mercatale (Tuscany) and Lisciano Niccone (Umbria), endowed with all kind of shops and services. The road which leads to the house (around 4 km long), part paved and part unpaved, presents some rather steep stretches, that can be easily travelled over with all types of cars but are not advisable for sport cars. All around the house a large equipped garden with gazebo and outdoor furniture, barbecue, wood burning oven and table tennis. Taking a descending smooth path you reach the pool (size m. 5x10 - depth m. 1,20-2,30) available for the exclusive use of the guests. The typical Tuscan furniture guarantees a high level of comfort. On request the owner can buy some basic food for arrival day, prepare breakfast, lunch or dinner during the week and rent bikes and motorbikes and organize guided excursions in the surrounding hills.
